Wondershare Recoverit provides us two types of license. On the one hand, the version Recover Pro, with a cost of 40 dollars for Windows and 80 dollars for Mac, and on the other hand the version Recover Ultimate, at a cost of $ 60 for Windows and € 100 for Mac, always in the case of a license for one machine. The main difference between the two is that the Ultimate version will allow us to create a boot drive to recover the data from our hard drive, even if the system does not boot or our operating system has been damaged. Although if you want to try it, check how it works and decide which version to buy later, of course there is a trial version available on their website.

Depending on the capacity of the hard drives or storage media, this process may take up to a few hours.
Already entering the field and ready to recover data, all options work practically the same. When choosing the one that best suits us in each case as we see in the image above, a window will open where it will ask us choose from which support we want to recover the data. Once the unit to work on has been chosen, Recoverit will start working, showing a folder diagram of said unit, as well as a progress bar so that we have an idea of the time that will elapse until the unit is finished analyzing.
We will have two options to view the files: in view of tree, which will show the folder directory of said unit, or in view of filesWhich it will discriminate and organize files of the same type by folders. Regardless of the type of view we choose, in brackets next to each folder we will see the number of recoverable files, as we can see below in the following screenshot.
It is possible that, when choosing the medium from which we want to recover the data, the waiting time until you can start to choose which data we want to recover be something longBecause Recoverit has to index the media storage with all your data, files or folders, in addition to searching all its corners so that no files are forgotten.

Once the process is complete, it will be stored in the location you established in the previous step.
